Just a short stroll from the heartbeat of Historic Marietta Square, a timeless 1917 home is surrounded by whispering magnolias and gardens that seem to tell their own story. This remarkable estate, featured twice on the Marietta Tour of Homes and twice in the Marietta Daily Journal Style Section, is more than a home - it's a living work of art. Set on nearly an acre, one of the largest lots along beloved Church Street, the property unfolds like a secret garden. Brick walkways curve past a large fountain, hand-hewn rock walls, and six distinct botanical spaces, each blooming with personality. Wisteria drapes the veranda, honeysuckle twines around an arbor, and a hidden cabana with louvered cedar walls provides a secluded retreat beneath the trees. Everywhere you look, nature and artistry dance together in perfect rhythm. Inside, the home's history speaks softly through every beam and floorboard. Over 150-year-old heart pine floors, custom cabinetry, and reclaimed wood in the kitchen ceilings - its patina a testament to time and care. Ten-foot ceilings, nine chandeliers, and original moldings echo the elegance of another era, while the renovations, completed across decades, bring thoughtful modern comfort. The kitchen is a chef's delight, with Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, custom stonework, and views that stretch into the gardens. The main-level primary suite feels like a private spa retreat, complete with a shower for two that opens to a garden view. French doors from the 1840s open to a shaded veranda, where morning light spills through the trees and the sound of water from the nearby fountain creates a sense of calm. Beyond the main house lies a charming carriage house apartment - perfect for guests and family - and a winding brick path that leads to raised gardens and a tucked-away gate. Here, just steps from Marietta's vibrant square, history, craftsmanship, and Southern grace intertwine - creating a home that is as rare as it is beautiful.
